Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Function The HeptaDry screw pumps function according to the double screw-pump principle. Two screw rotors rotate in the compression chamber. The medium to be pumped is trapped between the individual screw coils, compacted and transported to the gas outlet. During the compaction process, the two screw rotors do not come into contact with each other, nor with the suction chamber.
The silencer reduces the noise level during operation without exhaust line. 3.2 Identifying the product ► To ensure clear identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always keep all of the information on the rating plate to hand. ► Observe the motor-specific data on the motor rating plate attached separately.
► Always transport the screw pump without lubricant. ► Only fill up lubricant at the final installation location. Preparations for transport Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends keeping the transport packaging and original protective cov- General information regarding safe transport 1. Observe the weight specified on packaging.
5. Always place the vacuum pump on an adequately sized, level surface. 4.2 Storage Storage Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends storing the products in their original transport packaging. Storing the vacuum pump 1. Seal the vacuum and exhaust connection. 2. Make sure that the gas ballast valve is closed.
NOTICE Property damage from contaminated gases Pumping down gases that contain impurities (condensate, particles) damages the vacuum pump. ► Use suitable filters or separators from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range of accessories, to protect the vacuum pump. NOTICE Property damage from intake of solid particles During commissioning, there is a risk of damage to the suction chamber from dirt from the system or the pipes.
Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends installing a condensate separator, with condensate drain at the lowest point of the exhaust line. Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum offers a wide range of specially tailored accessories for your screw pumps. ● Information and ordering options for approved accessories can be found online.
Installation Procedure 1. Remove the protective cap from the exhaust connection. 2. With vertical installation, connect the exhaust line directly with the exhaust connection. 3. With horizontal installation (180°), connect the exhaust line using an outlet elbow. 4. Route the piping downwards from the vacuum pump, to prevent condensate return. 5.
1. Refer to rating plate of the vacuum pump for type and quantity of intended lubricant. 2. Only use the lubricant which was applied during initial installation. – Contact Pfeiffer Vacuum if you want to use another type of lubricant. Required consumable material ●...

NOTICE Property damage from contaminated gases Pumping down gases that contain impurities (condensate, particles) damages the vacuum pump. ► Use suitable filters or separators from the Pfeiffer Vacuum range of accessories, to protect the vacuum pump. Before switching on 1. Inspect the screw pump for visible damage and ensure that the screw pump is only operated when in a sound condition.
Operation NOTICE Damage to the vacuum pump due to intense temperature fluctuations If the housing cools down too quickly due to external influences, there is a risk of contact being made between the rotor at warm operating temperature, and the colder pump housing. This will result in irreversible pump damage.
Maintenance 7 Maintenance 7.1 Maintenance information WARNING Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work, there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub- stances causes environmental damage.
Level 1 and Maintenance Level 3 (revision). If the required intervals listed below are exceeded, or if maintenance work is carried out improperly, no warranty or liability claims are accepted on the part of Pfeiffer Vacuum. This also applies wherever parts other than original spare parts are used.
► Use approved lubricant only. ► Use alternative, application-specific lubricants only following consultation with Pfeiffer Vacuum. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends determining the precise service life of the lubricant in the first operating year. The usable life may deviate from the reference value specified depending on thermic and chemical loads, or due to penetrating process media in gear and bearing chambers.
Maintenance Safety data sheets You can obtain the safety data sheets for lubricants from Pfeiffer Vacuum on request, or from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Download Center. The lubricant type is listed on the rating plate 1. Please refer to rating plate of the vacuum pump for type and quantity of intended lubricant.
